The Elecjet AnyWatt is a great but sketchy USB-C MacBook dongle
Dongles are, as a general rule, terrible. Using them is bad, losing them is bad, from a design perspective they look bad — even the word “dongle” just sounds bad.
But for the past few weeks, I’ve been trying out Elecjet’s AnyWatt dongle — and it might just be good.
What is it?
The AnyWatt was a Kickstarter from earlier this year, but it’s actually shipping now for anyone who missed the campaign. It’s a dongle, designed (like many dongles are) for users who have made the jump to a USB-C device but still want to use their old cables. But the Anywatt isn’t for USB cables — it converts older laptop chargers into a spare charger for your newer devices.
The final version is a little more streamlined than the original, chunkier plastic one…
